Members of the Locked-up Investment Holders' Forum have announced weekly picketing at the Ministry of Finance (MoF), accusing the government of failing to honor its promise to pay their locked-up funds.
The group had previously suspended an earlier protest after receiving assurances from the Deputy Finance Minister, Dr. Stephen Amoah, that their concerns would be addressed.
The group has been pressuring the Finance Ministry to ensure that the Bank of Ghana can release funds held in defunct financial companies.
Speaking to the media, the lead convener of the Locked-up Investment Holders' Forum, Dr. Anane Antwi, stated that the group would commence weekly picketing at the Finance Ministry until their demands are met.
"We suspended our protest to facilitate a meeting with the Minister or the Deputy Minister. If that meeting does not take place, then there is no reason to continue the suspension. Therefore, we are resuming the picketing today, and from now on, we will picket every Wednesday.
"Even if they wish to meet with us on a Wednesday, they have every right to call us, and we will be available to meet them," he added.
